To be honest, these issues are among the few things that really
might turn me away from Mac OS X. You guys at Apple call this
"world’s most advanced operating system"?! Then why is there no
proper package management? Why doesn't a .pkg know which files it
installed?
It does.
Why isn't there a tool for listing all the installed packages?
ls /Library/Receipts
Why can't I look up the files a package installed,
lsbom /Library/Receipts/SomePackage.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom
That said, it'd be really, really nice if packages could be
uninstalled without something like
lsbom -pF /Library/Receipts/SomePackage.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom |
sudo xargs rm -f
(which still does not remove directories which are now empty due to
them being specific to this program, which does not remove files
created by the postflight or other scripts, etc)
